This guy is nuts

Do not try this at home (watch the video). Well, maybe if you have a Nutty Buddy you can, but even then I wouldn't. Damn.

A Clockwork Orange

Holy crap! As Tyler says, best article I've read in some time. I'm not sure if this school is terrible like murder, or terrible like amputating an infected arm on a battlefield.
